The variant cover theme invokes the title of the Marvel's Voices anthology series, each volume of which focuses on a different population of underrepresented and marginalized creators and characters.

Marvel's Voices: Comunidades is the anthology series that spotlights creators and characters of Latin heritage, and for Latin Heritage Month, Marvel is taking things one step farther with a series of Latin Heritage-themed variant covers, all from Leonardo Romero.

The covers will run on six titles this September, and will each feature characters of Latin heritage.

Here's the list of covers to be included in the Marvel's Voices: Comunidades variant theme, along with the issue each with appear on and the character each cover will feature:

  • Ghost Rider #6 featuring Robbie Reyes (September 7)
  • Amazing Spider-Man #9 featuring Araña (September 14)
